MAEVE’S POVThe wait for the Beckley family seemed like ages and when Damien called me that they were on their way to the pack house, I couldn't help but anticipate.We all sat impatiently waiting for them. Alpha Zane was nervous and I could tell by the way he was fidgeting with his fingers.I went to sit beside him and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.“We will go on a vacation once this is all over. No need to be nervous because we are just minutes away from lifting the curse. Whenever your nervousness sets in, think of all the fun we would have,” I said and kissed his palm.“Something you act like the man in this relationship,” He chuckled and rolled his eyes.“I would suggest we split ourselves into groups and be ready to set out to do whatever it is the Beckleys would tell us to do that would aid Alpha Zane and Maeve lift their curse,” Lilian said to the others and they nodded their heads.Just then Damien and Khal walked into the sitting room with an old man and an old woman w
ZANE’S POV“Can we skip to the important part first, " Damien said after clearing his throat.He held a herb mortar and I could see a paste in it.Before now, I was so pissed off at the fact that Aradia was my biological Mom.Why did it have to be her? Why did Dad and his mate have to wrong Aradia that it turned her into a monster?I wasn't proud enough to accept the fact Aradia was my biological Mom.No mother of mine would do all the cruel things she did, but then again I stopped for a second to consider all she went through.What did it matter, after all, she would have been dead by now and she did specify where she would kill herself.Nevertheless, I made a mental note to search for her corpse and give her a funeral. She was my mother after all and I had to give her respect, just as Maeve gave her dad his respect too even though he offended her a great deal too.“Oh yeah. Thanks, Damien,” Lilain rushed to Damien and collected the herb mortar from him.Maeve looked nervous and so d
MAEVE’S POVIt had been weeks since Damien was executed and Patricia was nowhere to be found.I knew that Alpha Zane was hurt by Damien and Patricia’s betrayal.Khal became his Beta and Gamma because he refused to trust anyone with the position after what Damien and Pat did to him, he said it would be difficult for him to trust easily.He was also angry at me for not telling him about Damien's love advances towards me. It took us over a week to settle.I wasn’t entirely surprised that Pat betrayed us because even though she apologized to us, I didn’t quite trust her apology.Alpha Zane didn’t plan on executing Pat but he wanted to apologize. Afterward, he planned on punishing her by setting her as an example to others in the pack.I told him that would be too harsh but he told me he knew Patricia badly hated embarrassment, so that was the only way she would learn her lesson.But I hadn't seen her until now. We even ordered for all 13 packs to be searched but there was no trace of Pat
MAEVE’S POVI knelt with teary eyes, fighting the urge not to tremble with fear as I pleaded my innocence. The rate at which my heart pounded was enough to give me a heart attack. I was afraid of dying and I was also confused and angry at the same time.“ I'm being accused wrongly, please!! “ I pleaded with teary eyes as I looked at Patricia Allen. When I first saw her a few hours ago I didn’t even know the bitch. Yet, she expected me to know her and even wanted me to greet her as though she was the goddess.It was my colleagues in the kitchen who told me her name and also that the late Alpha King took her in and became her guardian after her dad died. Here she was accusing me of stealing a ring that wasn’t even in modern trends.“ She’s lying! I saw her steal it with my own eyes. If you think I am lying, search her, I saw her put the ring in her bag, “ Patricia said to the pack warriors and staff working in the pack house that had gathered to watch the scene.Could my first day at wor
ZANE’S POV“ Alpha Zane, we have some matters to discuss about the forthcoming Ceremony of mate, “ Damien said with a smirk after Maeve and I turned to see that he was the one who cleared his throat.“ Alright let’s head to my study then. I was just trying to talk some sense into Mayonnaise here, “ I said to Damien.“ It didn’t look that way to me, “ Damien replied to me with a chuckle. While Maeve stood beside me fuming in anger.I didn’t know why but ever since I just saw outside she stirred some kind of feeling within me which I didn’t want to admit to yet so I felt the best way was to make her hate me. Since I’m cursed after all.“ My name is Maeve, not Mayonnaise, “ She said through gritted teeth as she tried to keep her cool. I guess she already knew that it was a lost course lashing out at me.Just the few minutes we had been talking I noticed she was fierce and bold which piqued my interest.To be honest she was really lucky because with the way she speaks to me if it had bee
MAEVE’S POVAll I could see was darkness and then I knew that something was wrong. I knew I had to open my eyes. When my eyes fluttered open, I found myself in the room that Damien informed me was mine.I tried to get into a sitting position and I felt warm hands on my shoulders helping me to get up. I turned to see it was Damien and he had a warm smile on his face.“ Thank the goddess you are awake. We were afraid you were gonna die on us, “ Damien said to me after handing me a glass of water to drink.“ We? You’re the only one in the room here with me so who are the We? “ I asked him.“ Your mom was the one who treated you. She went home to prepare your favorite dish. While Alpha Zane was the one who brought you in here carrying you in his arms, “ Damien said to me.At the mention of this Alpha Zane’s name, anger once again enveloped me. He was the cause of my current predicament. If only he allowed me to go home, I would have gotten my inhaler and this Asthma attack wouldn't have ha
ZANE’S POVWhen I heard Damien say “ We have a big problem, “. I struggled not to groan. I just did the most difficult thing I had ever done which was to restrain my sexual urge.All I wanted to do was bend Maeve over the table and fuck her from behind. I craved this girl whom I only met earlier today. I knew I was being an arrogant shithead to her which was so unlike me.But the yearning, lust, and attraction I felt whenever she was around me was new to me and I was still trying to get a hang of it. I knew sooner or later I’d have to apologize to her.She was a spitfire and damn, I admit that I found that part of her really alluring. “ What’s the problem, Buddy, “ I asked Damien as I tiredly walked, to sit on my chair feeling exhausted all of a sudden.Damien began to talk, but all I could think about were Maeve’s moans and how her pussy felt so warm and tight. When she sucked in some air and moaned while I used my finger to pleasure her, it took all the self-restraint in me not to
MAEVE’S POVI felt stupid and cheap after what just happened with Alpha Zane. What was I even thinking? No, Scratch that, what was my body thinking?I walked to the kitchen because whenever I was sad or worried baking always made me feel better. When I got into the kitchen I saw some of the kitchen staff.I wondered what they were still doing here because it was already nightfall. I greeted them but they gave me a nasty look in response.I found that odd because, just this evening before I was accused of stealing, they were very nice to me. I ignored them and walked over to the oven to check if anyone was baking for me to decide if I would bake or cook something instead.When I opened the oven and saw that no one was baking, I exhaled with relief and went to mix some flour, but a firm hand gripped me and pushed me to the ground.I fell to the ground and looked up, only to see my co-workers standing in front of me. The way they looked at me with disdain scared the hell out of me, but
